Wall Street after 2008 reduced itself to a brewery of rumours and speculations. Anything and everything can bring down anybody's stock. Supercomputers that execute hundreds of trades in a fraction of a second are the kings of our stock market today. Hence, I wouldn't rely much on stock pricing as a reflection of the future of the company.
I had both B&N and Borders near where I lived, before Borders closed their store. There's hardly 15 minutes in any hour of any day that that B&N store is opened that doesn't have a line in front of their faux Starbucks counter. A decent line in front of the cashier counter as well. I don't think B&N is going away any time soon. Not all printed content can be digitized, nor can experience with prints be replicated by digital. They also proved to me that they are listening to their customers by lowering price on a title that I consider buying as a nook book that I previously saw cheaper as a kindle book. It wasn't immediate but it was done.
